EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history at a West End restaurant during the 1930s when the issue of smoking in public spaces was beginning to be addressed. The notice on the table clearly states "No Smoking, Ladies," indicating that this establishment was one of the first to reserve tables for non-smokers after objections were raised.
However, these three defiant ladies seem to have other ideas as they blatantly disobey the notice by lighting up their cigarettes. Their bold defiance against societal norms and expectations is palpable in this image, showcasing a rebellious spirit that was perhaps ahead of its time.
In a time when tobacco use was not only socially acceptable but also glamorized, these women challenge the status quo with their actions. Despite being told where they can and cannot smoke, they assert their independence and autonomy by making their own choices.
This photograph serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of public health awareness and regulations surrounding smoking. It also highlights the importance of historical documentation in understanding societal shifts and attitudes towards harmful substances like tobacco.
